God, please take special care of this wonderful man who made so many so happy!

NO MAN IS INDISPENSABLE ~ BUT SOME ARE IRREPLACEABLE

The Firefighter's Creed (Prayer)

When I am called to duty, God, whenever
flames may rage
give me strength to save a life whatever be its age. Help me to embrace a little child before it is too late,
or save an older person from the horror of that fate. Enable me to be alert to hear the weakest shout and
quickly and efficiently to put the fire out. I want to fill my calling and to give the best in me.
To guard my neighbor and protect his property.

And if, according to your will, I have to lose my life,
bless with your protecting hand my children and my wife.
AMEN ...Anonymous

Dedicated to all brave firefighters and In Memoriam
to those who gave their lives in the line of duty.

COURAGE ~ FIDELITY ~ PROTECTION

If Prometheus was worthy of the wrath
of Heaven for kindling the first fire upon earth,
how ought all the Gods to honour the men who make it
their professional business to put it out?

TOMMY
You were always there when we needed you.
No task too great or small
With loving heart and willing hand,
For us, you did them all.
Thanks for the memories you gave us
And for the times we shared
We know that when you left us,
You knew how much we cared.
God saw you getting tired
He wanted to set you free
So He closed his arms around you
And whispered "Come to Me".
God's garden must be beautiful,
For He only takes the best.
We never lose the one we love,
For love itself lives on.
Rest in peace, dear sweet and gentle man
Forever in our hearts,
Until we meet again.
